“Oh look, the pot is calling the kettle black.”
Nope, nothing hypocritical about this post. I give reasonable rebuttals to your posts and you don’t reply with anything vaguely helpful.

EDIT- someone can’t do basic math.
1410+1540/2= 1475
1400+1570/2= 1485

Anyways debakian, to answer some of your questions-

Is Rice in a particularly urban part of Houston? Or is it in a secluded location?
Rice is a secluded oasis in the midst of an urban location. On the campus you wouldn’t get the impression you were in a city. It’s in a great location for Houston, very conveniently located near the Museum District, the Texas Medical Center, and Downtown Houston. Pomona can’t match that type of convenient access. Do note that Rice gives you unlimited usage of Metrobus/rail so exploring Houston isn’t as much of a hassle as exploring LA is.

Are you assigned to the same place for all 4 years or do you get different ones each year?
You’re assigned to the same residential house for all of your undergraduate years.

Do they have their own inclusive events or is everyone welcome to attend?
Both. Each residential college has its own unique events, but Rice has many events open to everyone. So you’ll get the best of both.
